Hello, I am Danny.

The Check Engine Light means there is a code stored in the cars computer. The blinking airbag light also means a code is stored in the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System). That code will tell where to start looking for the vehicle's poorly running symptoms. If you have access to a scanner/code reader if you could get back to us with the code numbers we would be happy to help. If you do not have access to one your local auto parts stores (Pep Boys, Autozone,O'Reilly's) will do a scan for free. I have attached a tutorial showing what is involved in the process.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
